Summary:

Five schools in Leslie County serve students from prekindergarten through grade 12: four elementary schools cover PK–8, and the high school serves grades 9–12. High school results are above the state in all six reported subjects, while elementary results vary considerably by school, grade, and subject. Attendance is the clearest countywide concern: chronic absenteeism is above the state’s 24% at every school, ranging from 36% to 54%.

Several elementary schools stand out, but in different subjects: W B Muncy Elementary School leads in grade 6 math at 65%, 23 points above the state, and grade 7 reading at 79%, 29 points above. Mountain View Elementary reaches 74% in grade 4 science, 34 points above the state. Stinnett Elementary School leads grade 5 Social Studies at 80%, 42 points above the state. Results can differ sharply within a grade: in grade 5 Social Studies, Stinnett’s 80% is 51 points above Hayes Lewis Elementary School at 29%; in grade 4 science, Mountain View’s 74% is 49 points above Hayes Lewis at 25%. SchoolDigger ranks Hayes Lewis lowest among these schools at the 25th percentile, while the elementary rankings range up to Stinnett’s 86th. Leslie County High School is above the state in all six subjects, by 7 to 26 points.

Recent changes are mixed, though matched elementary results show a smaller average advantage over the state in 2025–2026 than in 2024–2025, down 5 points; the high school’s average advantage also narrowed, from 22 to 18 points, while it remained ahead in every subject. SchoolDigger’s rankings show contrasting longer-term paths: Hayes Lewis fell from the 81st percentile in 2022–2023 to the 25th in 2025–2026, while Mountain View rose from the 53rd to the 70th; Stinnett edged up from the 84th to the 86th, and W B Muncy declined from the 95th to the 81st. For context, 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 60% at W B Muncy and 61% at Hayes Lewis, while Stinnett was highest among the elementary schools at 69%. Student-teacher ratios ranged from 12.9 at Hayes Lewis to 15.6 at W B Muncy; these context measures do not by themselves explain the different results.
